New York Shoe Haul!

Hello my darlings! How are you all? I'm sorry that I haven't blogged in an age but we haven't even made it through two weeks of second semester yet and already they have drowned us in work, no joke!
Anyway enough of excuses lets get down to todays blog post. Some of you may know I am crossing the Atlantic in less than two weeks for a Fashion Comm trip to New York during fashion week! I am so excited but also rather worried as the weather over there at the moment is atrocious, its freezing cold and there is the possibility of snow while we're there so obviously I would be anxious.
In light of this (and my somewhat empty shoe collection) I have hit the last leg of the January sales and bought some new shoes in preparation for my trip, although I could be returning next week to buy some thermals as well!

Now as you've probably noticed, the first pair of shoes here are completely impractical for New York! I wanted some smarter black boots to replace the ones I bought in the Office sale last year which I have worn to death and yet somehow I came out of Topshop with these gorgeous things under my arm. It seems like I'm the last person to buy a pair of shoes like this with huge buckles and straps and I had no intention of buying some however these in astrid grey with the gorgeous silver "tongue" bit (I don't know how you would describe it) were just too lovely not to buy. I'm still going to take them to New York in an unrealistically-optimistic hope that the bad weather will improve...
To counter my hopeless purchase I also bought these adorable ankle wellies from Office. I'm usually not a massive fan of these but if it is still snowing in New York when we get there I will need something snow proof. The only wellies I own are bright pink with a lime green trim (they are much more beautiful than they sound) from Joules which I thought would not fair me very well when trying to get into shows so for £12 I bought these cute studded ones. Thoughts?
I'll try keep the posts more regular but for now I hope you all have a lovely week and it's not gloomy where you are like it is in Newcastle. Love Holly x
